"Non-blocking is better than blocking." You don't say.

"Non-blocking is better than blocking."
You don't say.
- technoweenie 13y agoFWIW this is not a statement about programming (node.js vs ruby or whatever)
- webignition 13y agoHow can you be sure? Just curious, not saying you're wrong.
- kdaigle 13y agotechnoweenie works at GitHub :)
- VeejayRampay 13y agoI wonder who would naturally equate blocking to Ruby specifically. Or non-blocking to Node.js for that matter. Is Node.js VS Ruby even a thing?
- seiji 13y agoThey're in constant battle for the hipster programmer crowd. Ruby is too old for "I used it before it was cool," but node is kinda still there.
- technoweenie 13y agoOh right! I meant to say Go vs Node.js. Only one walks away.
- seiji 13y agoGo has a weird subset of admin/programmer people who haven't discovered erlang and think they are too good for C. Node has a weird subset of web people who haven't discovered erlang and think they are too good for deploying a message/job dispatch queue with python or ruby. If you want to be really bored with all these "modern" programming advancements, learn erlang and lisp and smalltalk. Everything is just reinventing their aspects over and over and over again targeted to audiences as "new new new!"
